Common garden thyme is one of the best-known and most widely used herbs, very popular in its basic culinary form and also as several lovely varieties that merit use in a rock garden or as an edging to garden paths.
lants revel in hot sunshine and drought, so give them very good drainage, and in cold gardens protect them from hard frost or grow them as container plants.
Sowing: Sow in Spring or Autumn at around 13°C (55°F)
When transplanting pinch out the tip of each stem to encourage the plants to bush outwards. Plant 30cm (12in) apart.
